Grass Plugs Planting Examples
|
We have different planting methods to suit your budget: 18", 12", 8", 6" and 3". Before planting the plugs, we suggest sowing your lawn, with our specially selected grass seed to provide additional green and protection until your plugs establish. |
How many grass plugs do I need?
Planting on a 18" x 18", 12" x 12", 8" x 8", 6" x 6" and 3" x 3" triangular grid. The 18 x 18 grid planting is the cheapest, and takes approx one season to 'fill in' the gaps. 6 x 6 planting will give you a full lawn in half this time, depending on how much water the lawn receives during its establishing period. Planting at 3" spacings can provide a complete green lawn in about 1 month. See planting grass plugs.
The spacing examples below show how many plugs you will need for the area of your lawn.

Spacing Examples |
||||
|
18" x 18" (4 plugs/M2) Cost = 2.0 euros/M2
|
 |
Planting at 18" apart, will produce a full lawn in one season. However the plugs must be watered and fed regularly to achieve the growth. | ||
| 12"
x 12"
(9 plugs/M2) Cost = 4.5 euros/M2 |
 |
Planting at 12" apart. This will produce a full lawn in one season. However with increased watering and feeding*, results could be dramatically speeded up. |
||
| 8"
x 8"
(25 Plugs/M2) Cost = 12.5 Euros/M2 |
 |
Planting at 8" apart, will produce a green grass lawn in less than one season, however is more expensive. Again with extra feeding and watering after the 3 - 4 week point*, results could be dramatically improved. |
||
| 6"
x 6"
(36 plugs/M2) Cost = 18 Euros/M2 |
 |
Planting at 6" intervals will produce a complete green grass lawn in half the time of 12" planting. |
||
| 3" x 3"
(90 plugs/M2) Cost = 45 Euros/M2 |
 |
This is the most costly solution, but can provide an almost instant green grass lawn within a month or two. (depending on watering and feeding)* |
